I think a few of us (ejhartman, corey, tylersucks, wilkins, me) have some sort of setup. I bought the $20 Wyze came when it came out like 6 months ago. It's a generic cheap Chinese camera, but Wyze build an app around it and added some nice features. They came out with v2 and I got one of those last week.

I have one inside and one outside by the front door. They are more toys than real security measures. Wyze is mostly local storage, but does do 14 second cloud saving when motion/sound is detected. People online love the app TinyCam Pro, and I got them working with that last night, but I'm not sure I see the benefit of it other than TinyCam shows a live feed of multiple cameras at once, the Wyze app only does 1 feed at a time when you click into the camera.

Corey, do you leave your outside lights on at night? I replaced my 3 outdoor bulbs with 75w equivalent LED bulbs over the weekend.

Lights off. IR on

Lights on. IR off

Lights on. IR on

Unfortunately the IR auto mode doesn't go to off when the lights are on outside. It may be from the sensor being covered or it looks past the overhead lights into the darkest and determines IR needs to be on.

Wow...house of the future. So basically when you open a door to let Kirby out it turns on and then off X minutes after being closed? Almost like a motion light....
